For the Memories will Stay (1)

The Very Last Episode, really? (Short)

Ahh. Morning in Muskoka. The birds chirping. The loon calling. The majestic gentle sounds of beautiful Northern Ontario. Welcome to the most dramatic thrilling episode yet! It's been a long eight weeks at Camp Wawanakwa and Total Drama Island is about to come to an end. Today, two campers remain. By sundown, only one will be left standing. That camper will go home with a check for $100,000! Who will it be? Brooding, un-tan, alternative artist Gwen? Or the large and lovable goofball Owen? Go grab a snack, have a pee if you have to. Sit your butt down and get ready for the dramatic final conclusion of Total Drama Island!

Owen ended up winning the hundred thousand, and it went like this.

Heather reached the island at around one in the morning when everyone had already fallen asleep, much to her anger. The teens didn't care about seeing her as they did for their fellow losers, after all, she had been a bitch to them the whole time. It wasn't until they were woken up at 8 that they saw her. Chris had woken them up early so they could pack all their clothes and make their way back to Camp Wawanakwa to cheer on the two finalists, which Corrine was looking forward to.

If anyone besides her or Duncan had to win, she was happy it was Gwen. She and Leshawna had been her rock after Bridgette was voted off, and still were after they were reunited. Bridgette hadn't really reached out to Corrine during her time at the resort, and Corrine felt weird about interrupting her and Geoff's time together. Even though they were always together, in fact, Corrine didn't think that had ever been apart since they finally confessed at the resort.

"All packed up?' Trent asked after knocking gently at her open door and walking in to help her with her bags.

"Yep!" She said, grabbing the rest of her bags and loading them up onto the yacht they were using to get back to the island.

"So," Corrine began to tease. "Are you excited to see Gwen again?" Trent let out a groan, throwing the last of the luggage into the cargo hold.

"I don't know, man." He confessed. "I totally blew it the last time I saw her, and I'm worried I'm gonna blow it again." Corrine frowned, patting him lightly on the back.

"I'm sure it'll be fine, just speak from the heart. Girls like that." Trent gave Corrine a weak smile as they boarded the boat, sailing off to Camp Wawanakwa one last time before the campers all went their separate ways.

It was bittersweet for Corrine. On one hand, they would finally be over with all the challenges and barely legal conditions they were put through, and on the other, she would be all alone again. She wasn't ready to be all alone again, wasn't ready to be the middle child again, the forgotten one. Janelle, James, and Tommy were going to college, Chrissy and Thalia were getting ready for Highschool, Matt was the pampered baby, and Corrine was just... there.

Duncan shoved her out of her sulking, literally. He went to gently push on her shoulder to grab her attention, but she was so spaced out that she ended up stumbling over.

"Are you okay?" He asked after stabilizing her, Courtney glaring at the arm Duncan still had on her.

"Yeah, I'm okay," Corrine laughed out. "Just spaced out, sorry. Anyways, what's up?"

"We just wanted to know who you were going to be rooting for," Courtney said while pulling Duncan's arm away from her, entangling their fingers.

"Oh, Gwen for sure," Corrine said. "What about you guys?"

"Owen," They replied in unison and Corrine nodded in understanding.

"Did you see Heather's hair?" Corrine asked with a snort. "What happened there?"

"Her head got shaved," Courtney said. "She's wearing the mullet Lindsay had to wear during the phobia challenge." The group of three laughed while Heather walked by them, disgruntled.
